General Secretary Khrushchev and President Nixon met and started boasting about the greatness of their countries.
Nixon said: “American medicine is so advanced that we have a pill which can bring the dead back to life.”
Khrushchev replied: “Soviet sports are so advanced that a man can run from Moscow to Washington in a single day.”
Nixon didn’t believe it and demanded Khrushchev prove it. Khrushchev was not sure how to do, so he gathered the Central Committee to discuss the solution.
Kaganovich said: “That’s easy. First, have Nixon give us the pill and let Comrade Stalin take that. If Comrade Stalin really comes back to life, then you will be able to run from Moscow to Washington less than a day”
